The Year of the Picture Book: The Sniffles for Bear by Bonny Becker

BLURB: The relentlessly cheery
Mouse pushes a cold-suffering Bear to new heights of melodrama in a
hilarious new adventure starring the unlikely pair. Bear has a terrible cold. In fact, Bear is quite sure that no one has ever been as sick as he is. So when Mouse comes tap, tap, tapping on his front door eager to make Bear "as good as new" by reading a sunny story, singing a rousing chorus and plinking a twangy tune
on her banjo, the pitifully coughing Bear - growing weaker by the
minute - is convinced that his tiny friend does not appreciate the
gravity of the situation. Can there be any saving Bear from his certain
demise? Welcome the world's most lovable curmudgeon and his endearing,
unstoppable sidekick in a wry new comedy sure to have even red-eyed,
sniffly-nosed readers rolling with laughter.

A fun addition to the Bear and Mouse series perfect for sharing. The text works well as a read-a-loud providing for lots of expression on the part of the reader. In fact the more expression used the funner the read-a-loud experience will be. Both characters are delightful in their own way, grumpy Bear and cheerful Mouse. A delightful homage to the value of friendship even when things get hard. The illustrations add the perfect touch of humor through body language and facial expressions. Highly recommended for both group and individual sharing. The other books in this series are delightful as well.
